Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for software remediation. A data storage device may store one or more sets of related software application image blocks, wherein a set of image blocks is associated with a software application and is generated by parsing components of the software application, such that said image blocks include at least a partial image of a file associated with the application, and at least one of: (1) registry keys and values associated with the application, and (2) operating system objects associated with the application. A communication module may exchange characterization data relating to image blocks with a client computer. A customized check module may be provided for providing the client computer with a set of one or more customized checks, and designate an image block as anomalous based on the result of a check. A remediation module may be provided for repairing the anomalous image block.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method system and application for replacing device drivers on an operating system associated with a computing platform. According to some embodiments of the present invention, an operating system may be configured to use a set of device drivers corresponding to the hardware installed on the computing platform. In the event of a change of hardware, the installed device drivers need to be adapted to the new devices.
